Monday.com Upload PDF File: "Variable $file of type File! was provided invalid value" Error

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m trying to upload downloaded PDF file in my workflow to monday.com column item. I tried to follow all the recommendations I could find in the forum, but still with no avail. Any input or recommendation to get this working will be greatly appreciated!

What is the error message (if any)?

"errors": {
  "message": "Variable $file of type File! was provided invalid value",
  "locations": [
      {
      "line": 1,
      "column":19
      }
    ],
    "extensions": {
    "value": null,
    "problems": [
    {
    "path": [ ],
    "explanation": 
    "Expected value to not be null"
    }
    ]
    }
  }

Please share your workflow

Hi @mannerism

Thanks for posting here and welcome to the community! :raised_hands:

I am not too familiar with Monday.com but I’m guessing it could be that you’re using file in your query but mapping it to image.

Can you try that?
